country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, or mderso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source Of iGsanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs Is It's power and pros
mriw. They wreck manhood's
strength and wolnans useful
ness and beauty.
Every o should know the
causes What are theyl The
answer IS easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawles
eating and drinking; the in,
tense mentalaai physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; tbs use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion Of
turning dry into night and
night into day; and, briefly
cur desperate willingness tt
pay any plice for an hour
pleasure Or success. So W
burn life candle at both end
and fill the lunatic asylum
and the grayeyards.
The disease from which W
suffer and die is, in plain Ems
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as
is seated in the Nerves and i
the organs Of Digestion, ASSN
ilation and Nutrition. Health
digestion being impeded Or de
troyed, the whole body, nerv,
included, is literally starred
even when there is no emac
